Assessment: WAEC SSCE - English Language - 1991 (Objective) Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

From the words lettered A to E, choose the word that best completes the sentence.
Despite all our pleas, the manager remained.... in his refusal of our request.
Answer Details
The best word that completes the sentence is "adamant." "Adamant" means to be unyielding, immovable, or stubborn. Therefore, the sentence indicates that despite all their pleas, the manager remained unyielding in his refusal of their request. The other options are not suitable in this context. "Flexible" and "pliable" mean capable of bending without breaking or being easily influenced, which is the opposite of what is described in the sentence. "Unconvinced" means not convinced, which is close but does not necessarily imply stubbornness. "Curious" means having a strong desire to know or learn something, which is not relevant to the context.
